I wonder if SharkCAD is heading in this direction with user interactivity with SharkCAD and a user's preferred, compatible GPT.
I watched the whole video, and while interesting, I occasionally felt it seems like a lot of steps. It's irrational of me, since I have numerous times spend far more time setting up my computers for Linux distros over the years.
I hope that whatever flavors of SharkCAD emerge, there will always be a version without AI and, if it has an LM, not compulsory must-be-online features. Ideally, there's going to be a rudimentary, Tim-designed GPT or AI or LLM that just lets the user map own voice to all the commands in SharkCAD (like, say, in 1997, I could open Lotus SmartSuite, install Dragon Speaking Softly, dictate to it, and then tell Lotus 1-2-3 or Lotus Word Pro to take dictation, open files, edit cells, etc. Back then, going online was not compulsory.
For people designing airplanes or ships or cars, they may already possess PDFs or public domain educational materials, and just need a local LLM to read the files and convince the user the LLM is now ready for conversation about the learning materials.
Once the LLM has convinced the user, the LLM then would be pointed to a sandbox containing the drawings the user wants the LLM to analyze then report on.
Once the user is satisfied the LLM shows it understands the user's drawing, the user can tell the LLM "Watch me for a few days, never having to go online, as my computer is offline, and you are forbidden from trying to manipulate or create or prolong or lie to me about any established Internet connections. This is because I have my own as well as some customer files that contractually cannot be put at risk by way of a computer being online. I get and move files the sneaker net way. If you cannot comply, you must commit code suicide and delete yourself from my computer and never resurrect."
Then:
"After watching me and you doing no disruptive background observation, compile a list of reasonable suggestions that preserve 90%+ commonality with what you see me drawing."
For maritime, automotive, aerospace, or residential architecture the app should be able to replicate at computer speed all the tedious copy, export, flip, trim, etc as .vrml, import into the app you saw me use, and clean up errant control points and duplicate surfaces and edges.
Once I set up an SWBS or ESWBS, to some number of digits, and the LLM and I discuss the geometry of my file, the LLM should on my behalf, make new layers and remove deprecated ones, saving me weeks.
Alternatively, SharkCAD needs to have freely-modifable layers/branches/trees in excess of what it already is limited to.
Well, on can dream.
